Definitions
- This invention relates to overhead flexible electric conductors of the kind which comprise one or more than one layer of helically wound bare elongate elements of electrically conductive metal or metal alloy and which are adapted to be freely suspended from spaced supports in long lengths.
- an overhead electric conductor comprising at least one layer of helically wound bare elongate elements of metal or metal alloy, at least one elongate compartment within and extending throughout the length of the conductor and, loosely housed in the elongate compartment or at least one of the elongate compartments, at least one separate optical fibre and/or at least one optical bundle.
- the improved overhead flexible conductor comprises at least one layer of helically wound bare elongate elements of metal or metal alloy, at least one elongate compartment within and extending throughout the length of the flexible conductor and, loosely housed in the elongate compartment, at least one optical fibre ribbon structure, which optical fibre ribbon structure comprises a plurality of optical fibres and at least one flexible elongate reinforcing element of substantially resilient material arranged side by side and embedded in an elongate body of plastics material, the or each resilient reinforcing element being set in such a form that the ribbon structure follows a path of smoothly curved undulations whose axes of curvature lie transverse to the longitudinal axis of the ribbon structure and the arrangement being such that if, when the conductor is installed or is in service, the undulating ribbon structure is subjected to a tensile force, the ribbon structure will straighten in a lengthwise direction against the action of the undulating resilient reinforcing element or elements, thereby reducing the
- the axes of curvature of the undulations of the undulating ribbon structure lie parallel to one another and substantially normal to the longitudinal axis of the optical fibre ribbon structure.
- the or each undulating optical fibre ribbon structure loosely housed in the elongate compartment or at least one of the elongate compartments of the flexible conductor preferably includes two or more than two flexible elongate reinforcing elements of substantially resilient material uniformly spaced across the width of the ribbon structure.
- the undulating optical fibre ribbon structure includes two flexible resilient reinforcing elements between which the separate optical fibres are arranged side by side.
- the flexible resilient reinforcing elements of the or each undulating optical fibre ribbon structure may be of a metal or metal alloy, copper or stainless steel being preferred, but, preferably, the reinforcing elements are made of a non-metallic resilient material such as polyethylene terephthalate.
- each undulation of the or each undulating optical fibre ribbon structure is not less than 40mm.
- limited relative movement between the or each undulating optical fibre ribbon structure and the overhead flexible electric conductor can take place when the conductor vibrates, oscillates or is otherwise flexed as may, for example, occur when the freely suspended flexible conductor is subjected to winds.
- Limited relative movement between the or each undulating optical fibre ribbon structure and the flexible conductor can also occur when the conductor is subjected to a changing tensile load during and after its installation due to forces imposed on it by winches and brakes, etc. which are used in tensioning the conductor to obtain a predetermined sagging condition; after installation, changes in tensile load in the flexible conductor can also occur due to changes in external loading and in temperature.
- an elongate compartment is within and extends throughout the length of a substantially circumferentialy rigid central core of the flexible conductor and the or each layer of helically wound bare elongate elements of metal or metal alloy surrounds the central core.
- the.central core is a single extruded elongate member having'a central bore which constitutes the elongate compartment.
- the single elongate member initially may be of substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section, one or each of the limbs of the U being folded inwardly so that the gap between the free ends of the limbs is at least partially closed, the space between the limbs and the base of the U constituting the elongate compartment; alternatively, the central core initially may be a ongitudinally extending tape of metal or metal alloy transversely folded to form a tube, the abutting longitudinally extending edges of the tape being welded or otherwise secured together. In all cases, preferably the central core is of substantially circular transverse cross-section.
- the central core may be in the form. of any one or more of the optional constructions described and illustrated in the Complete Specification of our Patent No: 1598438.
- the central core consists of two separately formed parts and comprises an inner solid elongate member of metal or metal alloy having in its outer surface at least one longitudinally extending recess and, surrounding the inner elongate member, a longitudinally applied, transversely folded tape of metal or metal alloy, which tape overlies the or each longitudinally extending recess to form an elongate compartment.
- the inner elongate member has in its outer surface three or four circumferentially spaced, longitudinally extending recesses which, when surrounded by the transversely folded tape, constitute circumferentially spaced elongate compartments in at least one of which an undulating optical fibre ribbon structure is loosely housed.
- the central core is of aluminium or an aluminium-based alloy; at least one layer of bare elongate elements of steel surrounds the central core; and at least one substantially circumferentially continuous outer layer of aluminium or an aluminium-based alloy surrounds the layer or layers of steel bare elongate elements, aluminium or aluminium-based alloy of the central core and/or of the outer layer at least partially filling- interstices between the steel bare elongate elements.
- the central core may comprise at least one layer of bare elongate elements of aluminium or an aluminium-based alloy, each element having a transverse cross-section approximating to a sector of an annulus or haying a transverse cross-section-of such a shape that, when the flexible elongate body is in tension, said element is in inter-facial engagement with adjacent bare elongate elements.
- those parts of the or each elongate compartment not occupied by the undulating optical fibre ribbon structure or structures may be substantially filled with a silicone gel or with a water-impermeable medium of a greaselike nature, the silicone gel or the greasy water-impermeable medium being of such a consistency that the or each undulating optical fibre ribbon structure is free to move relative to the flexible conductor when the flexible conductor vibrates, oscillates or is otherwise flexed.
- the greasy water-impermeable medium may consist of, or may comprise as a major constituent, petroleum jelly.
- an electric current flowing for a limited period along the flexible conductor may be of such a value that there is the risk that heat generated during passage of the current will be conducted to the or a ribbon structure and to the optical fibres and will result in damage to the ribbon structure or such damage to each optical fibre that its light-transmission efficiency is reduced to an undesirable extent.
- the generated heat may cause the plastics material of the ribbon structure to soften and consequentially exert such pressure on the optical fibres in the ribbon structure as to reduce their light-transmission efficiency to an undesirable extent.
- a layer of thermally insulating material may be housed in the elongate compartment and surround the undulating optical fibre ribbon structure or structures.
- the thermally insulating layer is a circumferentially continuous layer which is bonded or otherwise adheres to the boundary surface of the elongate compartment.
- the layer of thermally insulating material may be firmly bonded to substantially the whole of the boundary .surface area of the elongate compartment, or the layer of thermally insulating material may be bonded to mutually spaced portions of the boundary surface area, any air between the thermally insulating layer and the boundary surface serving as additional thermal insulation.
- the layer of thermally insulating material is preferably a coating of plastics thermally insulating material such as silicone rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and other fluoroethylene polymers and co-polymers, polyetheretherketone, polycarbonates, polysulphones, polyesters and Kevlar.
- plastics thermally insulating material such as silicone rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and other fluoroethylene polymers and co-polymers, polyetheretherketone, polycarbonates, polysulphones, polyesters and Kevlar.
- these plastics materials may be in cellular form.
- the preferred undulating optical fibre ribbon structure comprises four optical fibres 1 and two resilient elongate elements 2 of polyethylene terephalate arranged side by side and embedded in an elongate body 3 of silicone acrylate, the four optical fibres being arranged between the two polyethylene terephthalate elements.
- Each of the optical fibres 1 has an overall diameter of 250pm.
- Each of the polyethylene terephthalate elements 2 has a diameter of 200um.
- Each polyethylene terephthalate element 2 is set in such a form that the ribbon structure follows a path of smoothly curved undulations 4 which have radii of curvature of approximately 40mm and whose axes of curvature lie parallel to one another and substantially normal to the longitudinal axis of the optical fibre ribbon structure.
- the undulating optical fibre ribbon structure When the undulating ribbon structure is subjected to a tensile force, the ribbon structure straightens in a lengthwise direction against the action of the undulating polyethylene terephthalate elements 2 thereby reducing the tensile force that would otherwise be applied to the optical fibres 1. After the tensile force is removed, the resilient polyethylene terephthalate elements 2 cause the ribbon structure to return towards its original undulating form.
- the undulating optical fibre ribbon structure has an overall width of 1.6mm and an overall thickness of 0.3mm.
- the overhead flexible electric conductor shown in Figure 2 comprises a central core 11 constituted by a single extruded elongate aluminium alloy member 12 of substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section, the space 16 between the limbs of the U constituting an elongate compartment.
- the central core 11 is surrounded by three layers 15 of helically wound round wires of aluminium-based alloy, the directions of lay of adjacent layers being of opposite hand.
- Loosely housed in the elongate compartment 16 is an undulating optical fibre ribbon structure 17 as shown in Figure 1.
- the overhead flexible electric conductors shown in Figures 3 and 4 are similar in construction to the overhead flexible electric conductor shown in Figure 2 except for the form of the central core and, for convenience, components of the flexible conductors shown in Figures 3 and 4, respectively, that are similar to those of the overhead conductor shown in Figure 2 have been given references greater by ten and by twenty than the references of the corresponding components of the flexible conductor shown in Figure 2.
- the central core 21 is a tube 22 formed by transversely folding a strip of aluminium-based alloy.
- the central core 31 is constituted by a single extruded elongate aluminium alloy member 32 of substantially U-shaped cross-section, the gap between the free ends of the limbs of the U being partially closed to retain the undulating optical fibre ribbon structure 37 in the elongate compartment 36.
- the overhead flexible electric conductor shown in Figure 5 has a central core 41 consisting of two separately formed parts comprising an inner extruded elongate member 42 of aluminium having in its outer surface four circumferentially spaced, longitudinally extending recesses 46 and, surrounding the inner elongate member, a longitudinally applied, transversely folded tape 43 of aluminium, which strip overlies the longitudinally extending recesses to form circumferentially spaced elongate compartments.
- Loosely housed in each of the elongate compartments 46 is an undulating optical fibre ribbon structure 47 as shown in Figure 1.
- the central core 41 is surrounded by three layers 45 of helically wound round wires of aluminium-based alloy, the directions of lay of adjacent layers being of opposite hand.
- the or each elongate compartment may be substantially filled throughout its length with a silicone gel or with a greasy water-impermeable medium.
